LaVar Ball Says His Son Should Go No. 1 in NBA Draft Because He's 'Earned It'

Depending on your life perspective there are probably one of three points of view you have on LaVar Ball, the father of prep superstars Lonzo, LaMelo, and LiAngelo Ball who just can't bring himself to say "no comment."

1.) Brash or not, he's a doting dad who simply has a lot of confidence and support for his children
2.) He's a braggart whose mouth is writing checks his kids will have to cash
Or, 3.) Who the hell is LaVar Ball? This is the first time I've ever heard that name

"Lonzo should be No. 1 because he's the only player in the draft that could make everyone else around him better," the eldest Ball said. "Why shouldn't he be No. 1? He's earned it. Nobody else is playing like him. Nobody else is doing what he's doing. He's selling out arenas. He's making all these players better (...) How do you start your franchise without that guy?"
